Prestige Worldwide Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 It's getting close to my favorite season- Tracking season!! It's been a remarkably boring winter so far. Of course I'd love to score a major blizzard- but tracking is more than half the fun for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 @yoda gotta hand it to the Pens...they’re playing lights out right now. Hockey is one of those streaky sports where teams will have their ebbs and flows. Right now the Pens are red hot. Caps are playing flat and messy although their 3rd period last night was one of their best periods in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a marathon, not a sprint. Idk if you remember how horrendous we were in February last year, but we were actually pathetic to watch. Look what happened later...lol. It's all about finding your stride heading toward the playoffs. Get the crap play out of the way now and get hot in February and March. Pens are a good hockey team. They will always be in it. I never once thought they'd miss the playoffs this year. Should lead to entertaining hockey down the stretch. Btw, really sucks being the only hockey fan out here. I had someone ask me who the Capitals were when I had my jacket on the other day..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had someone ask me who the Capitals were when I had my jacket on the other day..... Absolutely. With a season (and playoffs) as long as it is, no team will stay hot the entire season. We’re just coming off a hot streak from Nov/Dec. As you said, its honestly about playing your best and finding your stride at the right time. One of the best things about the Caps winning last year is that it introduced hockey to a whole new market of people that never really watched...now most of those will just be bandwagon/casual fans but hopefully the appeal of hockey in DC continues to grow. Redskins (eye roll) continue to dominate sports talk, etc but its gotten less and less over the years. I got into hockey when I moved to DC over 10 years ago and became an instant Caps fan and my passion for hockey has grown ever since. Just in those ten years, so many ups and downs of emotions as a Caps fan...which will continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scud Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Looks like 3-4 feet of snow on Donner's Summit. Live streaming cam on I-80. Only 1-2 feet at Teton Pass, cams there as well. Winds could gust to 100mph on the Summit. Good show next 72 hours. I have talked to the weather Gods. The curse may be lifted for the mid Atlantic, in 96 hrs. Scud...

The others throw to be comprehended. He Throws to be a moment misunderstood. Yet not too much. Not errant, arrant, wild, But every seeming aberration willed. Not to, yet still, still to communicate Making the batter understand too late. That was really well done. I'm pretty sure I've read a few Robert Francis poems in my time.

I went to Italy in 2015 during may. Amazing country. Loved every place we visited. One of the coolest things was travelling from Portofino to Camogli (spelled wrong i'm sure) the Italian Alps were clearly visible rising up in the distance above the Mediterranean Sea. Covered in snow of course. That's as close as i got but will never forget the scenery that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We plan on going to Ireland next and go for 2 weeks. 2 weeks seems long but as we plan our itinerary it's obvious that 2 weeks will barely scratch the surface there.
